Airships! Pt. 2 [various sizes]
Hey everyone!
This is a follow up to our Airships! pack. Hard to imagine we made that over a year ago now. We'll be making several airship related packs over the coming months, as well as a multi-part release of an Airship Port, similar to how we released the Train Station map packs. First part hopefully coming this month!
We decided to release these airships solely as transparent PNG files. We thought this way would be better so that they can be used in conjunction with any of the other maps. And there's a ton of different skies in our Mid Air Dragon Flight pack.
All of the ships in this pack were inspired by the idea of micro-shops, floating markets and food stalls. We imagine them zipping around magical steampunk cities and will hopefully give a lot of life to your Sharn-like sky bridges when we release that pack!
These ships are meant to be the life-blood of a sky city: scouts, merchants, libraries, cafes, noodle bars, fishing vessels, mechanics and so on. If you'd like us to make more in this style let us know! We had thought of making a pack of small battle ships and maybe a ship to match each class. Let us know if you'd like that!
Oh, oh and there's a whole set of Czepeku props like barrels, beds, tools, rugs, etc. in our City Streets pack. If anyone feels like designing their own little airship using those, people share them on Discord with us. :)

This is awesome, perfect for an epic chase! Though, I'm wondering, what size are the ships supposed to be?
These are beautiful! Is there any chance of getting the original airships as transparent images as well?
Some of the original airships have transparent versions. We made those later using the PSDs we had. The ones that aren't available in transparent is because we lost the original files.
cat wizard ships. is that a midnight gospel reference?
Cze's avatar is a cat. Peku is a shark
I’ve got a boss fight coming up at sea against a gnomosh pirate commander, would love to see some sort of steampunk ship or the like.
These are stunning! As someone who'll be running an entire campaign on floating islands in the next year, I'm so glad we're getting more sky content. It's surprisingly hard to find stuff that works. Do you think you'll do any floating ship graveyard type stuff? Big threat in the sky that airships keep flyin' into?
What sort of thing are you hoping for? Like 'dead' ships floating around or something much bigger than that?
These airships look amazing, I'm glad you made such a wide variety of them, and I think the idea of battleships is not bad either ...
These are great. I'd love to see all the "shop" variations with the Elemental Ring propulsion design. My steampunk games are in Eberron, so I'd love it if all the ships matched. Seriously beautiful work!
All of these should work with Eberron. The elemental ring isn't the only propulsion system in that setting, for instance check out the official Skycoach artwork. :)
These are beautiful! Would you ever be able to make a ship that's "nature" themed? Just asking because my players captured a nautiloid and have used their magic to transform it aesthetically into a "tree/flower" style airship, full of vines and flowers and coral, etc. A cool idea though sadly it's hard to find that kind of ship design anywhere.
I'll add it to the list! :)
My party just arrived in Sharn so the timing is great! Excited about the upcoming air port.
Love the Air Ships theyve all been very helpful for my spelljammer campaign, speaking of which I would very much appreciate and I'm certain anyone running a spelljammer or eberron or shipfocused campaign would also appreciate a variation on this sort of release for Spelljammer ships which also triple as aeronautical and aquatic vehicles. you can find dozens of varieties of really interesting spelljammer designs/shapes in 2nd Edition's Spelljammer Captains Companion book as well as the spelljammer wiki. v good inspo for anyone looking as well.
I'll check out the book for ideas. Do you think these designs would work fine for Spelljammer?
the timing cound´t be better, my party is going to water combats next weeks and i needed ships. Thanks!!
Amazing stuff for my Eberron shenanigans! Would love to see class-flavored airships too
these ships are amazing and they came in the perfect timing too
